Understanding LP Store Conversion: Best ISK/LP Corps Explained

Loyalty points (LP) pile up from missions, faction warfare and other activities — but they’re worthless until you convert them into ISK. The catch: the best conversion changes constantly with the market, and the “obvious” high-profit offers are often the worst once you account for fees and liquidity.

How LP stores work

Each NPC corporation with an LP store sells a list of offers. A typical offer costs some LP, some ISK, and sometimes required items, and gives you an item in return. You then sell that item on the market. Your profit is the resale value minus everything the offer cost you.

The ISK-per-LP formula

• Revenue= resale price × quantity, minus sales tax and broker fees.
• Cost= the offer’s ISK cost + the market cost of any required items.
• ISK / LP= (Revenue − Cost) ÷ LP cost.

Ranking by ISK/LP — not raw profit — is what tells you where your points are best spent.

The liquidity trap

An offer can show a huge ISK/LP on paper, but if the item only sells a handful of units per day, you’ll crash the price offloading a stack — or wait weeks. Always check the sell volumeof the output item. Deep liquidity at a slightly lower ISK/LP beats a headline number you can’t realize.

Which corps are best?

There’s no permanent answer — it moves with the market. Navy and pirate faction stores, CONCORD and Sisters of EVE are perennial contenders, but the specific best offer this week depends on current prices.

Patient sell vs instant dump

Valuing at the sell price assumes you post orders and wait; the buy price assumes you dump instantly for less. Your real ISK/LP sits between the two — pick the basis that matches your patience.
